It was decent. Loved the open mindedness and the family feeling i had with everyone at that school. Educationally no one was ever on the same page. They were always testing out programs and no one really wanted to cooperate which slowed down classroom learning and wasted time. I graduated a year early though so i will have to say that their independent study program really worked out for me. Also the senior seminar prepardness class was really helpful to me in signing up for college and fafsa and scholarships.

I transferred to Bitney from a much more expansive and populated high school down the street. This decision turned out to be one of the best I have made so far in my life.

Such a great small school. An amazing full-day internship program. A welcoming and accepting community. Teachers who obviously care and go above and beyond to help their students. It's like a second family to so many of the students and really sets them on a course for success in their life.
